Staff Sgt. Richard Saincome, assigned to 84th Engineer Support Company, a native of Auburn Hills, Mich., helps unload the baggage of soldiers redeploying from Afghanistan at Buckner Physical Fitness Center on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson before a ceremony for them. Nearly 100 U.S. Army Alaska soldiers returned home Thursday evening, March 14, from a nine-month deployment to the southern provinces of Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. The soldiers are assigned to the 23rd Engineer Company, part of the 2nd Engineer Brigade home based at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. During their deployment, the soldiers performed dangerous route-clearance missions to remove improvised explosive devices along often-used roads. The unit was featured in the National Geographic Channel's "Bomb Hunters: Afghanistan" and three-part Discovery Channel documentary "Heroes of Hell's Highway."
